  • That the pole piece is fluid-tightly fixed to the valve body means in particular that the pole piece is joined to the valve body in such fashion that an external circumferential surface of the valve body interfaces with an internal circumferential surface of the valve body such that fluid flow along the pole piece is blocked by the joint between the external circumferential surface of the pole piece and the internal circumferential surface of the valve body.

  • the width of the axial gap is reduced as the armature approaches the pole piece so that the pressure gradient along the axial gap increases as the distance of the top surface of the armature from the lower surface of the pole piece decreases. In this way, a hydraulic force is generated which acts on the armature and increases as the distance of the top surface of the armature from the lower surface of the pole piece decreases.
  • That fluid "has to pass" the central axial opening of the armature, the axial gap and the fluid channel (s) along the outer surface of the armature, respectively, is in particular un ⁇ derstood to mean that no other fluid channels are provided in parallel thereto.

  • the position of the valve needle when the axial gap has the minimum gap with is herein also denoted as "maximum opening position of the valve needle".
  • the minimum gap width of the axial gap is 50 ym or less, preferably 45 ym or less . In one embodiment, the minimum gap width has a value between 25 ym and 40 ym, the limits being included.

  • a minimum residual gap width d of about 30 ym of the axial gap 32 can be achieved with an overall pressure drop over the armature in the range of a few bars, e.g. 3-5 bars. This pressure drop is sufficiently low not to cause problems with the spray generation.
  • the flow rate is dominated by the valve seat.
  • the static flow has no part-to-part effect and the dynamic flow can be controlled, for example, by any mechatronic approach using the electromagnetic injector closing behavior .
  • Figure 3 shows a cross section of the valve assembly 3 according to figures 1 and 2 in the plane A-A indicated in figure 2.
  • the valve needle 11 In the maximum opening position of the valve needle 11, there is a residual gap with a width d across the axial gap 32 between the top surface of the armature 23 and the lower surface 29 of the pole piece 25. Fluid flow is directed by an axially symmetric pressure field through the residual gap along the area 32 to the outer radius R of the armature 23 and along the outer face 31 of the armature 23 through the radial gap 34 in the direction of the fluid outlet portion 7.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un ensemble soupape (3). Il comprend un corps de soupape (4), un pointeau de soupape (11), une pièce polaire fixe (25) et une armature mobile (23) d'une unité d'actionneur électromagnétique (19). La pièce polaire (25) présente une ouverture axiale centrale (26) et est d'un seul tenant avec le corps de soupape (4) ou fixée de manière étanche au fluide au corps de soupape (4) de sorte que le fluide s'écoulant à travers une cavité (9) du corps de soupape (4) d'une partie d'entrée de fluide (5) à une partie de sortie de fluide (7) doit s'écouler à travers l'ouverture axiale centrale (26). L'armature (23) et le corps de soupape (4) forment un espace radial (34) entre une surface interne du corps de soupape (4) et une surface externe (31) de l'armature (23), l'espace radial (34) définissant un canal de fluide axial le long de la surface externe (31) de l'armature (23). Un espace axial (32) est formé entre une surface inférieure (29) de la pièce polaire (25) et une surface supérieure (27) de l'armature (23), l'espace axial (32) définissant un trajet de fluide radial à partir d'un orifice de l'ouverture axiale centrale (26) de la pièce polaire (25) jusqu'à l'espace radial (34) entre la surface interne du corps de soupape (4) et la surface externe (31) de l'armature (23). La surface inférieure (29) de la pièce polaire (25) et la surface supérieure (27) de l'armature (23) sont non perforées de sorte que le fluide s'écoulant à travers la cavité (9) de la partie d'entrée de fluide (5) à la partie de sortie de fluide (7) doit passer l'espace axial (32). La présente invention concerne en outre une soupape d'injection (1) comprenant l'ensemble soupape (3).
